Advantages: So shiny! Disadvantages: Chuffing m:trip
I recently purchased a shiny, new mp3 player and thought perhaps you might like to meet him. Being a fashionable sort he does have a very hectic social life, but luckily I managed to corner Mr m:robe for long enough to extract a few details that might be of interest to a potential buyer. Read on...

Sootica.P.Monster: Hello Mr m:robe, as my new best friend I wondered if I could ask you a few questions for the benefit of other people thinking about introducing one of your family into their lives.
m:robe: Certainly Sootica, I'd be happy to oblige. What would you like to know?
I think we'd best begin with the basic specs. So, if it's not too personal a question, how big are you on the outside, and how much do you weigh?
I'm a rather svelte 90 (w) x 52 (h) x ...
Advantages: Great food, reasonable fixed price menu Disadvantages: None
On our recent trip to the Loire Valley Mr Tart and myself arrived in Tours quite late on our first night. We drove down to Tours from Paris. We were going to stop for something to eat on the way but in the end decided to make our way straight to Tours and get settled in the hotel and then find something close by. A couple of minutes from our hotel we came across this place and were really glad that we did.

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, very friendly people and whales Disadvantages: Not really a beach island.
We've been twice, both times were via Cruise Ships, and late in the year. These were not big, fancy ships, just average Joe UK ones.
Dominica is a beautiful, lush, green, uncommercialised island that the locals should be very proud of. The locals themselves are very friendly and polite.
On our first visit we braved the enslaught of taxi drivers that rush to greet Cruise passengers. You just say where you want to visit and they tell you their price. We got together a small minivan (approx 10 passengers) to go to the Falls.
Our taxi driver was a young man who rented the vehicle. He took us up the very windy roads, stopping frequently to either point out things like pineapples growing by the roadside or local houses to explain their way of life or at a roadside shack so we could buy a cool drink. He spoke to us all the time ...
